MD1000 attached to MD3000. Virtual disk not on the preferred path

• Virtual disk MD3000i not on the preferred path

  Our MD3000i rpet table is not optimal and that a virtual disk is not on the preferred path.

  We have two RAID sets on it with a VD each.  The former says her favorite way is controller 0, the second said his preferred path is controller 1.  But the controller 0 like take charge of both.

  Using MD storage manager, I can change VD2 owned by controller 1.   But in the current for the next several hours, it passes backward, and the MD3000i starts orange flashing again.

  If I restart the server that is attached to it, the question usually begins without having to wait a few hours.

  I changed out Ethernet cables, and it did not help.  Either way, it all started when we changed the MD3000i attached to hosts.  It was attached to two Dell servers, now it is only attached to one.

  After looking through everything, it seems that the iSCSI initiator is configured incorrectly. It seems that you only have one configuration of IP and the MD has two available. Here is a link that has a step by step on setting up the MD3000i and the MPIO.

  http://paulgrevink.WordPress.com/2012/02/21/configure-Dell-MD3000i-MPIO-with-Windows-2008-R2/

  I would like to know how this happens. Also the only link that you have custody fall itself which normally points to a network problem may therefore need to look in the configuration of the switch as well.

• Max MD3000 virtual disk size

  Can how big I grow a virtual disk?  As above, I have two servers Dell PE in a cluster failover with Windows 2008R2 Ent. The MD300 contains two Virtual disks 1 x 50 GB of disk as a cluster quorum and 1 x 4TB which holds virtual machines. I would add 2 TB for the largest virtual disk; that would be appropriate?

  The only limit to the size of the virtual disk on a series of Dell's MD3k is the maximum number of physical drives in a single group. For raid 5, it's 30, RAID 10, is 44 and for raid 0 is 45.

  When you configure a cluster, I usually use a Quorum GB 2. If it is an installation of hyper-v I then use 2 disks or more virtual to spread the i/o load. If not for hyper-v, then the structure of the virtual disk depends on the needs of the application and storage.

• Backup has encountered a problem during backup of the C:\windows\system32\config\systemprofile\Desktop\music file. Error: (System does not find the specified path. (0 x 80070003))

  I had to uninstall iTunes a few months ago and successfully re-installed, but part of my music was missing.   At one point, following the instructions on a thread on the forums Apple or Microsoft, I saved my music library on the desktop. Since then, I do not have a library of music on the desktop file.  In my looooooong hours trying to fix things, I do not know if I deleted it or what.

  Now, I get the message:

• SRM with virtual disks not replicated RDM Recovery Plan.

  We try to do a test of SRM with a Virtual Machine that has disks Virutal RDM attached, however these volumes are not replicated with RecoverPoint, they exist already on the side of DR, so basically we're already reproducing machine virtual and it's virtual disks, but these 3 RDM are outside it.  The reason for this is because they have massive volumes that had previously been replicated using another product before virtualize us and there is no need to replicate this info again because the volumes are never going to change.

  
  Then...

  It is done within the SRM, when you look at tab groups protection, we see a warning "not configured VMs: 1" because SRM / RecoverPoint believe that this virtual machine has volumes that are not replicated.

  Is there any way to exclude this or saying SRM to ignore what we will manually add the RDM on the DR side ourselves?  Also on the side of DR, I don't see the VM under hosts and Clusters as I see the replication of other virtual machines, it is because MRS. think he isn't entirely reproduced?  Or is it a manual step where you need to create a virtual machine on the side of the DR and to disable this option in order to see it?  Also, we see what VM listed on the virtual computers tab for this group of special protection, but the other two VMs residing on the sam MON appear and I already tested successfully the two machines.

  Here are the settings in the file for the RDM .vmx

  scsi0:4.filename = "server_3.vmdk".
  scsi0:4.mode = "persistent".

  Hello

  You do not see the DR VM (usually it's called shadow or the space reserved VM), because currently the VM is not protected by SRM. You can't manually create.

  What you can do is run the Wizard "To configure Protection" for your virtual machine. One of the steps, "storage options" or something like this, allows you to select specific disks and mark as detached, allowing you to protect the computer with disks not replicated virtual.

• Reference Dell MD3000 virtual disk

  I have an environment to both nodes of ESX 4.0 and a shared storage (Dell MD3000, no iSCSI).

  On storage, I have 10 at 10K SAS drives.

  Virtual disk how I need to build? A two bigger or smaller?

  Thank you

  Max

  It is not a simple answer, because it depends on:

  • Good storage practices

  • Storage type and the type of disks

  • VM number, size and type of e/s

  • Max VM and e/s per LUN

  • Size Max LUN (less than 2 to - 512 b)

  In your case, with 10 discs and two nodes and storage running in active-passive mode, you can create 2 virtual disks.

  Create 2 different groups of RAID5 (also think about using 1 disk as a global hot spare) and in each virtual disk group build 1 (or more if the size is more than 2 TB - 512b).

  If you have a few VMS with high IO think also to use use 4 disks in RAID10 instead of RAID5 configuration.

• VMware vsphere essentials more and Dell MD3000i iSCSI - virtual disk not on preferred path

  Hello world

  I am trying to set up our new vmware vsphere essentials plus the facility. We have 2 x Dell R710 servers running vmware esx4 and have a md3000i SAN.

  Each server has a network cable to connect to a network SAN controller.

  vmserver1 a vmnic6 IP 192.168.130.110 the IP controller connection 0 192.168.130.101

  vmserver1 has IP 192.168.130.111 vmnic4 connection to controller 1 IP 192.168.130.102

  vmserver2 a vmnic 6 IP 192.168.131.110 the IP controller connection 0 192.168.131.101

  vmserver2 has IP 192.168.131.111 vmnic4 connection to controller 1 IP 192.168.131.102

  Whenever I start a virtual server it causes the dell md3000i start flashes orange, and management tool says disc not on favorite virtual path.

  After entering the tool configuration and affecting the path preferred, from the commencement to vmware, even with a single connected server it causes the error.

  I tried to configure vmware to use direct fixed and alternate paths.

  I did a quick search on Google and found these sites:

  http://www.delltechcenter.com/page/VMware ESX4.0andPowerVault MD3000i

  http://en.community.Dell.com/support-forums/storage/f/1216/t/19269507.aspx

  Strange configuration.

  Looks like you are using some cross cable?

  Each host must have 2 vSwitches, each with a port vmkernel on one of the two iSCSI network.

  Each host must reach all 4 of the MD3000i (test with the vmkping command) interface.

• Remove the disc hard virtual does not remove the vmdk files

  Hi guys

  I have 2 virtual disks attached with 1 VM. I'm trying to get rid of the 2nd virtual disk. After removing successfully without error, it seems always on the data as _1.vmdk store. I presume that it must automatically disappeared from the store of data too.

  I can add this disc again and start the virtual machine without problem.

  In the past, I have deleted the virtual machine complete and all the associated HDs went but this is the first time I remove 1 hard drive.

  any advice?

  Thanks to the adv.

  Sure! If you select, the virtual disk will be removed only from the virtual machine, but it will always be in the data store. just like what you are facing now. For your needs, you wil had to select B, where the virtual disk will be removed form the machine virtual and then permanently deleted.

  Hope it will be much clearer to you now...

• What is the right way to expand the virtual disk and then the OS partition?

  I have a Windows XP operating system in a virtual machine VMware.  I have

  you want to increase the size of the hard drive.  It currently has a 50 GB

  partition on a 50 GB VHD.  I increase the size of the

  50 GB to 100 GB in VMware virtual hard drive.  Then, can I use

  Windows disk management to increase the size of my partition of the

  side OS to use all the 100GB he sees now?  Or will

  corrupt my data or cause a problem as I really need to

  use a third party tool like EAUSUS inside Windows to extend Windows

  on the size of the virtual hard disk?

  In fact the way you describe, resize the virtual disk and then developing the partition are the way to go. But there are some things that you should be

  aware of.

  -If the VHD is on an IDE controller, you may not be able to resize the virtual disk. In this case use the converter. With the converter, you can resize the disk including the partition and - if desired - replace the IDE controller by a SCSI controller.

  -If you have only one partition under XP (that is, drive c :)) you cannot extend the partition with the diskmanager/diskpart. In this case, start your virtual machine from a CD/DVD Vista/Windows 7 in Repair Mode, open a command line and use "diskpart" from there to "extend" your partition.
